If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Burglahr.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Burglahr, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
